Green Coffee Bean May Help You Lose Weight

A new study suggests that regular supplementation of green coffee bean extract could be a safe and effective way to drop some pounds. The study author Joe Vinson, a chemist at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania, said “Based on results, taking multiple capsules of green coffee extract a day, while eating a low fat, healthful diet and exercising regularly, appears to be a safe, effective, inexpensive way to lose weight,”

Researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania conducted the study with 16 overweight participants. The results showed overweight young adults took a low dose of green coffee-bean extract and lost an average of 17.5 pounds in 22 weeks and reduced their overall body weight by 10.5 percent and 16-percent of body fat. Experts believe these effects are due to chlorogenic acid which is found in green coffee beans.

Unroasted coffee beans, green as the day they were picked, may hold the key to cheap and effective weight loss, as they can help overweight patients lose a substantial amount of weight in a relatively short time.
